Bio
......Aggressive yet introspective, a virtuosic pianist whose original compositions and improvisations demonstrate an unpredictable meld of musical styles. Instrumental pieces without words that tell deeply personal stories....... Born in Ottawa, Canada in 1974, Frank Horvat is an award-winning and critically acclaimed composer and pianist. From performing in classical recitals to playing in rock bands, Frank maintains an active schedule of performances of his own compositions and the works of others in Canada and abroad. His portfolio of compositions consists of chamber, electronic, music theatre, film, and large ensemble works. His music has been featured on TV networks like the CBC & Bravo and a variety of radio stations internationally. Released in June '07, his debut recording, "I'll Be Good", features thirteen original compositions for solo piano performed by Frank himself. This was followed by a 28-stop concert tour including performances at NuitBlanche (Toronto) and The Works Art and Design Festival (Edmonton). Frank's followup CD, "A Little Dark Music", released on Earth Hour 2010 is inspired by environmental themes. A portion of the sale of this CD is being donated to WWF. From March 2010 to April 2011, Frank presented "The Green Keys Tour", a 60+ city concert tour across Canada and the US that showcased eco-friendly behaviour. A graduate of the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music, Frank is also very active within the field of music education. Residing in Toronto with his wife, Frank is passionate about social issues related to poverty and the environment. ....Watch a piano performance recorded live of Hit Me Baby One More Time.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....Watch the music video, Piano Piece No. 2:.... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

.."Bordering on the improvisations of Keith Jarrett...this is a truly eclectic mix showcasing Horvat's wealth of technique and energy...I'm left shaking my head in wonder.".... - David Olds, Wholenote Magazine.... .."Wildly original, often chaotic, eclectic as all get-out, and quite a ride.".... - Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications.... .."It's an eclectic mixture of various influences – everything from Steve Reich to Billy Joel… I was most impressed by the haunting exoticism.".... - Colin Eatock, Wholenote Magazine ....
